There is more than one way to run cyrus with procmail. I am using it since
years with postfix. That's my entry in master.cf

  cyrusp    unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
      user=cyrus:mail argv=/usr/bin/procmail -p /etc/cyrus/procmailrc 
      LOGNAME=${user} EXTENSION=${extension} RECIP=${recipient}

main.cf:

  mailbox_transport = cyrusp

You can create a recipe directory for your cyrus users like

 /var/cyrus/rc

The main procmailrc file /etc/cyrus/procmailrc contains something like

 HOME=/var/cyrus/rc
 DELIVERMAIL=/usr/local/imap/bin/deliver

 INCLUDERC=$HOME/rc/$LOGNAME/procmail

The procmail file named by INCLUDERC contains the individual user recipes.
e. g.

 :0 H
 * ^TOpostfix-users@
 | $DELIVERMAIL -a $LOGNAME -m user.$LOGNAME.lists.postfix
 
procmail isn't supported by the cyrus project. That's all. But it works
nevertheless.

I did exactly what Werner wrote. I use Postfix ==> Procmail ==> Cyrus and it 
works perfectly. (now I am on a PPC with SuSE-7.3-PPC but I had the same 
configuration on a PC with SuSE-7.3 (i386).
